Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Princess Margaret in Lisbon. DESCRIPTION: When Princess Margaret arrived at the start of her six-day stay in Portugal, her visit aroused such interest, that she could hardly move from plane to car! It was an extraordinary scene for a royal arrival, with everyone crowded round and scores of reporters trying to take photographs.
